‘Sound of Freedom’ Tops $40M and ‘Indy 5’ per Screen Average; Pathetic Media Attacks on ‘Sound of Freedom’ Driven by Bigotry and Fear

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Sound of Freedom has topped $40 million at the box office and beat the per-screen average of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

At the close of business Sunday, after only six days in theaters, Sound of Freedom has grossed $40.2 million. Also, over the weekend, it averaged $6,388 per screen, which topped Dial of Destiny’s per-screen average of $5,760.

Currently, the Disney Grooming Syndicate’s Dial of Destiny is playing in 4,600 theaters, compared to just 2,852 for Sound of Freedom.

Dial of Destiny might have come in second place with a weekend’s gross box office haul of $26.5 million, and Sound of Freedom might have come in third place with $18.2 million, but Sound of Freedom is doing a better job of packing them in.

Also, Unlike Disney’s Dial of Destiny, which is on track to lose tens if not hundreds of millions, Sound of Freedom is already profitable. Budgeted at just $14.5 million, Sound of Freedom started making millions the moment it crossed $25 to $30 million. And it’s just getting started. With an A+ Cinemascore and the corporate media’s desperate and insulting attacks, word of mouth is all set up to be phenomenal. Sound of Freedom should also clean up on home media.

Pathetic Media Attacks on ‘Sound of Freedom’ Driven by Bigotry and Fear

By Breitbart. Sound of Freedom is a genuine box office phenomenon, and the corporate media are bitter and terrified.

Oh, sure, the usual-usual Woke Nazis at CNN, the Washington Post, and the Guardian, etc., are pretending to be angry and indignant over Sound of Freedom’s problematic-ness, but the truth is the exact opposite. For all kinds of reasons, the ongoing success of this movie angers and terrifies them. . .

So what if Sound of Freedom stretches the “based on a true story” brand to the limit? So does every single movie that’s been “based on a true story” in the hundred-year history of Hollywood.

So what if Sound of Freedom validates some ideas that emanate from a fringe group like Q Anon? Pretty much every issue-based movie validates some fringe movement, be it the left-wing terrorist organizations Antifa and Black Lives Matter, the socialist Communists, environmentalists, and Nazis, or the Democrat-founded Ku Klux Klan.

These attacks on Sound of Freedom are breathtakingly stupid, reactionary, and driven by only two things: bigotry and fear.

European Defense Contractors Want Guarantees of Endless War to Expand Production

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Before, we had time, but no money,” said Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, head of BAE Systems Hägglunds AB, reflecting a common theme across Europe’s defense industry. “Today, we have money, but no time.”

Almost 18 months into the war in Ukraine, Europe’s defense contractors — flooded with demand for everything from ammunition to shoulder-launched missiles and combat vehicles — face a dilemma. Do they gamble on expanding production, assuming that the war and tensions with Russia will last indefinitely? Or hold back until they get long-term commitments from governments that have spent the past few decades shaving or even slashing their defense budgets?

The calculation matters beyond the corporate offices of Europe’s defense industry, which collectively generates about $130 billion a year in revenues. Ukraine urgently needs more weapons, from artillery ammunition to air defense systems, and allies’ stocks are running low. European capitals are trying to revive their own sleepy industries to both sustain weapons deliveries to Kyiv and bolster their own security. [But e]ven as orders start to pile in, the fear in the industry is that it could expand production only to find that when new facilities open in three or five years’ time, there is no demand. . .

“We want to see the words followed by action — real action,” said [the chairman of business association ASD Europe’s defense unit]. (Read more from “European Defense Contractors Want Guarantees of Endless War to Expand Production” HERE)

Ukrainian Heroes Slaughtered Tens of Thousands of Polish Women and Children, but Joint Hatred for Russia Preserves a Tenuous Relationship

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a rural village with fewer than 500 residents, strangers stand out. Even Anna Osinska, a 93-year-old villager with failing eyesight, noticed when people she did not recognize — refugees from the war in Ukraine — started appearing on the narrow street outside her kitchen window. . .

“Thank God I don’t feel any need for vengeance,” Ms. Osinska said, recalling how, in 1943, she fled her childhood home in former Polish lands in western Ukraine after Ukrainian nationalists attacked her family’s village, slaughtering most of its 160 inhabitants.

The murders in Niemilia, the village where she was born but no longer exists, were part of horrific events that Ukraine calls the Volhynia Tragedy, but that Poland remembers as the Volhynia Genocide. In those ethnic pogroms by Ukrainian nationalists, more than 60,000 Poles, many of them women and children, were murdered. . .

Ms. Osinska, who was resettled as a teenager after World War II in southwestern Poland, along with tens of thousands of other Polish refugees from Ukraine, grew up in a community traumatized by the massacres of 1943 and seething with hatred toward Ukrainians.

She still resents “that they show no remorse” and has not forgotten the frenzied cries of “kill the Polacks, kill the Polacks” that echoed around her home village when she was 13.

RETALIATION: ‘Missing’ Biden Corruption Witness Hit With Federal Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dr. Gal Luft, a key figure in House Republicans’ investigation of the Biden family’s international influence-peddling, faces federal charges of arms trafficking, operating as an unregistered lobbyist for China, and conspiring to flout US sanctions on Iran, according to a Manhattan indictment unsealed Monday.

Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York say Luft, 57, a dual US-Israeli citizen who was arrested in Cyprus this past February and went on the run after being released on bail prior to his extradition, agreed in 2015 to let former Hong Kong official Patrick Ho send $350,000 each year to Luft’s think tank, the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security.

In return, the indictment said, Luft agreed to “recruit and ‘educate’ a former high-ranking US official to “make public statements … which were in the interest of China.”

In return, the indictment said, Luft agreed to “recruit and ‘educate’ a former high-ranking US official to “make public statements … which were in the interest of China.”

The official is not named in the indictment, but details about his work correspond to former CIA Director James Woolsey, who briefly worked for former President Donald Trump’s transition team after the 2016 election.

The Bat Signal Goes up to Defend Biden for Disowning His Young Granddaughter

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden disowning his own young granddaughter remains perhaps the most perplexing scandal of his presidency, both in its brazenness and its pointlessness. What does Biden gain from refusing to acknowledge Navy Roberts? And why is he so determined to erase her that he’s even instructed his own staffers to say he has only six grandchildren?

I can’t get into his mind, but I can’t think of a reasonable explanation for such grotesque behavior. That’s become a problem for the mainstream press as they’ve tried to navigate the issue.

To its credit, The New York Times did recently write a scathing critique, noting that Biden can’t continue to claim the mantle of decency if he disowns a grandchild to please his degenerate son. But as expected, the mood is already shifting, and it looks like the bat signal has gone up to defend Biden on the matter.

BASH: You know, this is, this is a story that is sad and disturbing on so many levels. Yes, it is political for a couple of reasons. Number one, yes, Republicans are using it and are going to take advantage of it in a way that is unfortunate and inappropriate. But the reason they are doing that, and able to do that, is because of the brand and the kind of person that we all know and believe Joe Biden to be because it’s who he says he is, and it’s someone who is a family man. That’s what we see all of the time.

Where do you start with a statement like that? Let’s remind everyone of the reality here. Joe Biden is attempting to erase the existence of his own granddaughter. It is not Republicans who are the bad guys here, and it is not “unfortunate and inappropriate” for them to point out that Biden’s image as a loving family man is a facade. All of us know Bash would never suggest the immoral behavior of any Republican is off-limits. Yet, that’s exactly what she’s saying when she immediately runs to blame Biden’s opponents and not Biden himself for doing something so awful.

The Insanity Continues: Debate Rages Over Whether Transgender “Men” Should Register for the Draft

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[A] GOP congressman has a novel proposal aimed at transgender Americans: Make transgender men register for the draft.

The idea comes in the form of an amendment to the annual defense policy bill proposed by far-right Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn. The amendment would change the requirements to register for Selective Service by defining “male citizen of the United States” as including a “transgender person who identifies as male.”

“If they want to be treated like men, then they need to do what other men do and register for the Selective Service and get called up like everybody else,” Burchett said in a statement to Military.com.

“This group of people is more protected than any other group, and it’s not right,” he added about a group of people who have been the subject of more than 200 proposed state laws this year targeting their rights and are four times more likely to be victims of a violent crime than non-transgender people.

Transgender people have been able to serve openly in the military since the start of the Biden administration. But under current law, no one who was assigned female at birth is required to register for the draft regardless of whether they have transitioned to male, according to the National Center for Transgender Equality.

Soccer Coach’s Lost Phone Contained Videos of Him Raping Boys, Police Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

A soccer coach in Tennessee has been arrested after police said they found hundreds of videos and images of him appearing to rape unconscious boys on a phone he left behind at a restaurant.

Police in Franklin, Tenn., said in a Sunday statement that Camilo Hurtado Campos, 63, recruited boys onto his soccer team and then sexually abused them. They said Campos drugged and raped at least 10 boys as young as 9 years old and recorded footage of his crimes.

He is being held in custody on charges of raping a child and sexually exploiting a minor, police said. In Tennessee, rape of a child is a Class A felony that carries a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison. Sexual exploitation of a minor is a Class B felony when the suspect possesses more than 100 images or materials that show a minor engaged in sexual activity.

Police Lt. Charles Warner told NBC News that Campos was being held Sunday on a $525,000 bond. The Franklin Police Department could not be reached for comment early Monday.

Police said employees at a local restaurant found a customer’s phone and went through it to try to reach the owner so they could return it. After stumbling upon “unconscionable videos and pictures of children,” they called the police, the department said.

Poll: Trump Holds 20 Point Lead Over Desantis in Florida

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump holds a 20-point lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida, polling from the Florida Atlantic University Mainstreet PolCom Lab found.

The survey found Florida Republicans maintaining a commitment to the former president, even on DeSantis’s home turf.

Half of GOP primary voters in the Sunshine State, 50 percent, support Trump in the crowded Republican primary field. DeSantis comes in a distant second, garnering 30 percent support in the Florida primary.

No other candidate comes remotely close. Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, for instance, comes in third place, 26 points behind DeSantis with four percent support. Sen. Tim Scott garnered just three percent support, followed by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and former Vice President Mike Pence, all of whom garnered two percent support each. (Read more from “Poll: Trump Holds 20 Point Lead Over Desantis in Florida” HERE)

China’s Military Is Leading the World in Brain ‘Neurostrike’ Weapons: Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

China‘s People’s Liberation Army is developing high-technology weapons designed to disrupt brain functions and influence government leaders or entire populations, according to a report by three open-source intelligence analysts.

The weapons can be used to directly attack or control brains using microwave or other directed energy weapons in handheld guns or larger weapons firing electromagnetic beams, adding that the danger of China‘s brain warfare weapons prior to or during a conflict is no longer theoretical.

“Unknown to many, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have established themselves as world leaders in the development of neurostrike weapons,” according to the 12-page report, “Enumerating, Targeting and Collapsing the Chinese Communist Party’s Neurostrike Program.” A copy of the study was obtained by The Washington Times.

The U.S. Commerce Department in December 2021 imposed sanctions on China‘s Academy of Military Medical Sciences and 11 related entities the department said were using “biotechnology processes to support Chinese military end-uses and end-users, to include purported brain-control weaponry.” (Read more from “China’s Military Is Leading the World in Brain ‘Neurostrike’ Weapons: Report” HERE)

Judge Blocks Dem Governor From Allowing Trans People to Change Gender on Driver’s License

/1 Comment/in , /by

Shawnee County District Court Judge Teresa Watson has issued a temporary restraining order against a policy regarding gender changes from Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly of Kansas.

Kelly and the Kansas Department of Revenue have maintained a policy that allows transgender individuals to change their gender on driver’s licenses and birth certificates, despite recently-passed laws aimed at nixing the practice. Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach has challenged the Governor’s policy, arguing that it violates key sections of Senate Bill 180, which went into effect July 1.

“The Governor doesn’t get to veto a bill and then ignore the Legislature’s override. She is violating her oath of office to uphold Kansas law,” Kobach said Friday.

“The Attorney General points out that driver’s licenses are issued for a period of six years and are difficult to take back or out of circulation once issued,” the judge wrote in a temporary restraining order. “Licenses are used by law enforcement to identify criminal suspects, crime victims, wanted persons, missing persons, and others. Compliance with stated legal requirements for identifying license holders is a public safety concern.”
